Okay, good.

[ a pause. ]

Would you admit it if you were?

[sonorant]

[ she wouldn't. ]

I don't think it'd be easy to hide being slashed by that sword.

[mygod]

... fair point. It is pretty large.

[ but too many people here like to hide their problems. ]

[sonorant]

I would go to the swamp immediately. Please don't worry.

[ she won't refuse getting treated, at least. ]

[mygod]

Okay...

[ they choose to believe her. ]

How are you doing?

[sonorant]

... It is a struggle to be as I usually am. I don't have the kind of heart that can be unaffected by all this.

[mygod]

I don't think you should have to be how you usually are. No one can keep a smile on at all times.

Don't tire yourself out.

[sonorant]

I know. I'm not forcing myself to smile. It's only... there are moments that I want to do something I shouldn't.

How are you holding on, Pestilence?

[mygod]

[ YO UCAN'T JUST SAY THAT AND MOVE ON??

pesto will go for the slight topic change... for now. ]

I think this is low on my list of good weeks I've had.

[sonorant]

[ HELP.... SHE'S JUST A BABY GIRL..... ]

It wouldn't be high for most. What do you do to make yourself feel better?

[ where does pesto fall on the mental health chart ]

[mygod]

I usually just work on my garden. My other love, online auctions, is not possible here.

[ is that a joke? debatable. ]

[sonorant]

[ even if it's a joke, robin is interested. ]

What kinds of things do you try to buy?

[mygod]

... nothing specific? I think I just get really excited winning the bids.

[ becomes the ruler of ebay ]

Cute stuff.

[sonorant]

You must have access to a lot of funds if you can win so many auctions.

[mygod]

You have a lot of confidence in my ability to win them, but I appreciate it.

[sonorant]

[ she is made to hope.

... ]

Is your excitement because you don't win many?

[mygod]

I don't like losing, don't get me wrong.

... it's just an easy rush, is all. And if I don't win then I save money, and if I do then I get something I wanted.

[sonorant]

In that way, it's a win all around for you. You might like some of the games in Penacony.

[mygod]

That's where you are from?

What's it like?

[sonorant]

They call it the Planet of Festivities, the Land of the Dreams. There are twelve different areas, called the Twelve Hours, that each provide visitors with some kind of entertainment or leisure activity.

It's a place I'd recommend for short visits right now.

[mygod]

Oh, wow.

[ an entertainment distract that is a whole planet... ]

Why just short ones?

[sonorant]

It's going under a bit of reconstruction right now, but in general, it's better of vacations than anything else.

[mygod]

I see...

Is it where you reside permanently?

[sonorant]

It's more a place I visit now... I left it years ago to tour the cosmos.

[mygod]

Something like that is really unbelievable to me. We didn't even think we could leave our planet until recently, since there was something blocking us from going out further.
